Location

How do I develop a budget? What accounting rules do I follow? The purpose of this seminar is to empower non-budget employees with budgeting and accounting tools. County experts will provide an in-depth overview of the County budget process and fiscal management, and guest speakers will provide insight on their departmental budgeting procedures. Learn the "tips and tricks" of a balanced budget and basic accounting processes (e.g., budget cycle timeline, eCAPS, year-end closing, etc).
